Two men who admitted dealing heroin and crack cocaine in Yeovil have been sent to prison.

Clive Owusu-Dome, 28, of Conley Road in London, admitted to drug dealing offences and was sentenced to three years and three months yesterday (May 11). The sentence was for these offences and for breaching the conditions of a previous sentence.

Che McLeod, of no fixed address, admitted two counts of possession with the intent to supply class A drugs and was handed 42 months in prison on May 3.

The two were arrested during a search warrant in Yeovil last year and were found to be in possession of heroin and crack cocaine.

“These two men came to the area specifically to target vulnerable people and peddle class A drugs. But we want to send a clear message to dealers outside Somerset that we won’t have it.

“Policing teams in Avon and Somerset and across the country have been working together, with help from the public and our partner agencies, to identify and disrupt drug dealing networks and we remain committed to tackling this issue.

“I want to thank local residents for continuing to provide us with information about suspected dealing in their communities. It’s so important we all work together.”
